Puka Nacua’s brother, Samson, slaps fan at UFL game in ugly scene
NY Post
Samson Nacua, the brother of star Rams receiver Puka Nacua, wasn’t saving the hard hits for the field this weekend.
Samson, who plays wide receiver for the Michigan Panthers in the United Football League, was seen yelling back and forth with an opposing fan on Saturday in St. Louis before swiping up and slapping him in the face while teammate Adonis Alexander pointed and laughed on.
The UFL announced it was investigating the incident as tensions boiled over after the Panthers lost to the Battlehawks, 32-27.
“The UFL is aware of the incident that took place last evening at the conclusion of the Michigan Panthers vs. St. Louis Battlehawks game in St. Louis. League officials are currently investigating the matter,” the league said in a statement.
Samson, 27, is the middle brother between 30-year-old Kai, a safety on the Michigan Panthers, and Puka, 23.
Samson was once on the rosters of the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts, but has since moved on to playing in the UFL, whose seasons begin in the spring.
